[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What recourse do students with SN at voucher schools have f the school does not provide appropriate supports?  Who do the schools report to?  What is the accountability?[/quote]

The schools don't have to provide any services and there's no oversight. Their IEPs are with DCPS - e.g. DCPS has to come to their voucher school and provide, for example, 1 hour of speech therapy or occupational therapy a week if that's what is in their IEP. But nothing is promised or required in the classroom. [/quote]

So are voucher schools truly a viable choice for students with SN if the voucher school is not required to provide the same supports as a traditional public school?  Do students with SN have fewer choices than other students under the voucher system simply because they have SN?  Is true school choice only for NT students?[/quote]

It depends. If you have a child with mild special needs, it could work for you. But for most students it would be a risk. [/quote]
